Chapter 55: Jingzhou Huanxuan
At the end of the summer of the fourth year of Taiyuan, the Weijie ushered in the first real opportunity after traveling through time. He finally got along with the Xie family as he wished and got on the Xie family's ship. Xie An ordered him to go to the Northern Palace Army to serve.
After meeting with Xie Xuan, Wei Jie and Liu Muzhi changed to water to Jingkou under Xie Xuan's arrangement. Along the way, unlike Wei Jie's uneasiness, Liu Muzhi seemed extremely excited and refused to rest.
Liu Muzhi only went to Jiankang from Jingkou not long ago. He grew up in Jingkou and knew a lot about it. He pulled Wei Jie to talk about the customs and customs of Jingkou. At first, he didn't notice that Wei Jie was not in high spirits, but just answered him perfunctorily. Later, Wei Jie simply ignored him and thought about what went wrong.
"I said, "Shubao, Jingkou is my territory. You ignore me now. When you go to Jingkou, don't blame me for not taking you out to see me!" Liu Muzhi's excited mood had no place to vent, and he said with a little dissatisfaction.
Liu Muzhi himself did not expect to return to Jingkou so soon, and he would still report to the Beifu Army.
"Dao and you, don't make trouble. I always feel that something is wrong. There is always a bad premonition in my heart!" Wei Jie interrupted Liu Muzhi angrily. Since he comprehended the Book of Heaven, he has become much more sensitive to the sense of crisis, but this premonition is not enough to be told to others.
"I think you can't rest assured that Miss Fengbing is not ashamed of this. Although there are many literati and scholars in Jiankang City, there is no one else who can touch Miss Fengbing's hearts except you!" Liu Muzhi said self-righteously.
Wei Jie shook his head. The sense of crisis in his heart was indeed related to Yan Mengmeng, but it was not entirely true. In addition to Yan Mengmeng, there was Xie An, who said immediately: "What do you think An Gong's plan will happen if someone is seen through?"
Liu Muzhi showed a thoughtful expression when he heard this, shook his head slightly and said, "Even if he was seen through, the worst result is that these people remain unmoved. Could it be that Shubao thinks that someone in Jiankang City will dare to be unfavorable to Angong?"
"This is what I'm afraid of. If someone really dares to take the blame and attack An Gong, we will be very passive at that time!" Wei Jie said worriedly.
Liu Muzhi laughed and said, "Shubao, you are too worried. Not to mention that although the current emperor has some concerns about An Gong, he needs to rely on An Gong more places. He is the first to not allow anyone to be unfavorable to An Gong. Besides, even if someone has a fever in his head and offends An Gong, what afterwards? Who will bear the anger of the soldiers of the Northern Palace?"
"All smart people don't do such unwise things!"
Wei Jie thought about it, if the soldiers of the Northern Palace were not removed one day, and Xie Xuan was still alive, no one dared to touch An Gongqian. But what was the matter with this unknown premonition?
"Don't think about it, Shubao, you are a little uncomfortable even if you leave Jiankang. I remember when I first left Jingkou, I was worried about gains and losses like you are now. This is human nature!" Liu Muzhi said comfortingly.
"You'd better listen to me tell you about the human nature of Jingkou!"
…
"If the general expected, early this morning, the city gate opened, Xie Xuan and others disguised themselves from the west gate and left the city. According to the general's instructions, Yuan Xian was not alarmed, but just sent people to follow him. I think the news will not be long before it will be transmitted back!"
In the military room at the north gate of Jiankang City, the man in black. After hearing Sima Yuanxian say that, Wang Gong first glanced at the man in black and asked respectfully: "Since Xie Xuan has left the city, can we do it?"
"No, Xie Xuan left the city this time and should be back to Jingkou. Let's wait for another three days. It's not too late to act after he transferred the Northern Palace troops to Xuzhou. Please pay close attention to the movements in the direction of Jingkou!" As if everything was expected, the man in black said calmly.
"In addition, please send someone to inform Lord Wang Xun of Yanzhou, so that he can prepare and cooperate with the army left in Qingzhou to attack Xuzhou and restrain the soldiers of the Northern Palace!"
"General, Yuan Xian didn't understand a little. He wanted to control Jiankang City and force An Gong to step down. With the cooperation and support of the Le family army, Lord Wang Gong's army was more than enough in the Stone City. Why not take action now? It would be a sudden change!" Sima Yuanxian asked in confusion.
"What then?" The man in black glanced at Sima Yuanxian, and the sarcasm in his eyes was clearly visible.
"If the soldiers of the Northern Palace are dispatched in full force and the troops are forcing Jiankang, who will resist? The few people hidden by Lord Wang Gong are or the group of mobs under the young master?"
"If my Jingzhou army hadn't dared to act rashly, I was afraid of arousing Xie Xuan's alertness, would it take so much trouble?"
"Only after making a decision, you can do everything in a bad way. Huan Xuan, I, either do not do it, and to do it to the extreme. This time, I not only want Xie An to step down, but also uproot the entire Xie family. After this battle, I will let the soldiers of the Northern Mansion disappear from this world!"
The man in black was Huan Xuan of the Huan family in Jingzhou and the youngest son of Huan Wen. In the second year of Taiyuan, Xie An proposed that Xie Xuan recruit the strong men who moved from the north to the south due to war and form the Northern Mansion soldiers. Under Xie Xuan's training, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Mansion soldiers, mainly composed of northern people, quickly became the most combat-effective army in the Great Jin territory, and since then it began to form an invisible suppression and threat to the Jingzhou army.
Wang Gong and Sima Yuanxian looked at each other and both saw a sense of horror from each other's eyes. In fact, since Wang Gong lured Du Zigong, Huan Xuan, Wang Gong, Sima Daozi and his son had already joined forces to form a united front, with the purpose of dealing with Xie An.
Wang Gong killed Du Zigong, returned to Jiankang to offer Du Zigong's head, angered Xie An, and then made the illusion of escaping Jiankang and returning to Qingzhou overnight, further angering Xie An. These steps were linked together, and they were Huan Xuan's series of strategies. However, at the beginning, Huan Xuan just said that Xie An would force him to step down, and did not say that he would also target the Northern Palace soldiers.
When Wang Gong came to Jiankang, three thousand elite Qingzhou troops accompanied him. Under the cover of the Le family army, he hid in the stone city that was in a corner with Jiankang City. At first, it was just to deal with emergencies, but now it has become a tool to control Jiankang City.
"The soldiers of the Northern Palace play an important role in our Great Jin Dynasty. I am afraid that this will not be good, right?"
When Huan Xuan said that the Northern Mansion soldiers were also the target of this operation, Sima Yuanxian was both afraid and excited. Without the suppression of the Northern Mansion soldiers, the Jiankang City would not be the final decision of his Le family army in the future? But Wang Gong was still calm and said questioningly.
"There is gain and loss. If you want to protect the interests of the high sect, Xie An must be eliminated. To get rid of Xie An, you must include Xie Xuan and his Northern Mansion soldiers. Otherwise, who will bear the anger of the Northern Mansion soldiers?" Faced with Wang Gong's doubts, Huan Xuan said as if nothing had happened.
"At that time, the soldiers of the Beifu will not cause trouble for our Jingzhou army. The Qingzhou army and Yanzhou army of the two Lords Wang, as well as the Le family army in Jiankang City, will be eaten by the Beifu soldiers!"
